Strengths: Good looks
Good price
Easy on and off
Good durabilityWeaknesses: Weird feel - not very solidBottom Line: They look good in the colors they come in the durability is decent, and the price is right, but for me they have a weird feel. I call it "papery" - they feel and sound almost like paper and just don't feel solid to me. My favorite tire is the Vredestein Fortezza Tricomp, but I wanted red tires and just couldn't afford the Tricomps in red, so I took a chance on the Solanos. The Solanos worked well for me and had no problem running at 120psi. They wore evenly and were easy to get on and off, so all in all a nice tire. But when they wore out I went back to Vredestein Tricomps and there's a very big difference in feel.
Favorite Ride: Wind at back
Price Paid:
$20.00

Strengths: Very grippy, yet low rolling resistance. Great crit tire. Puncture resistant (I've ridden over glass several times).Weaknesses: Take this with a grain of salt; the tires wear quickly, but I ride on chip seal roads (tar with gravel poured on top), so any tire will suffer with these road conditions.Bottom Line: Very happy with this tire. I race MTB mostly, and use WTB. I thought I'd give WTB a try on the road bike, especially with the screaming deal that I got. Turns out that these tires are just as good as the Michelin Krylion.
Price Paid:
$15.00
Purchased At: eBay

Strengths: These tires last and protect. I ride over whatever you can think off on my way to work. I go into corners fast and hard and come out smiling. Great in the rain, best in the summer, great with high milage ridesWeaknesses: They come in one color, or at least that is what I've found and that's black. So if you like colored tires, i would try and see if they come in other colors.Bottom Line: I ride these tires on my rode bike that I commute to and from on. Its 20+ miles each way, i use them rain or shine, and have yet to find anything wrong. Last longer than any other tire I've used
Favorite Ride: my commute to work
Price Paid:
$35.00
Purchased At: Where ever i can get
